Materials and methods: We studied a green synthesis route to produce AgNPs by using an aqueous extract of Pimpinella anisum seeds (3 mM). Their antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity on human neonatal skin stromal cells (hSSCs) and colon cancer cells (HT115) were assessed. Results: A biophysical characterization of the synthesized AgNPs was realized: the morphology of AgNPs was determined by transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and ultraviolet-vis absorption spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy showed spherical shapes of AgNPs of P. anisum seed extracts with a 3.2 nm minimum diameter and average diameter ranging from 3.2 to 16 nm. X-ray powder diffraction highlighted the crystalline nature of the nanoparticles, ultraviolet-vis absorption spectroscopy was used to monitor their synthesis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed the main reducing groups from the seed extract. Energy dispersive spectroscopy was used to confirm the presence of elemental silver. We evaluated the antimicrobial potential of green-synthesized AgNPs against five infectious bacteria: Staphylococcus pyogenes (29213), Acinetobacter baumannii (4436), Klebsiella pneumoniae (G455), Salmonella typhi, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, we focused on the toxicological effects of AgNPs against hSSC cells and HT115 cells by using in vitro proliferation tests and cell viability assays. Among the different tested concentrations of nanoparticles, doses <10 µg showed few adverse effects on cell proliferation without variations in viability, whereas doses >10 µg led to increased cytotoxicity. Conclusion: Overall, our results highlighted the capacity of P. anisum-synthesized AgNPs as novel and cheap bioreducing agents for eco-friendly nanosynthetical routes. The data confirm the multipurpose potential of plant-borne reducing and stabilizing agents in nanotechnology.

The effects of Pimpinella anisum on mitosis
Pimpinella anisum'un (anason) meyveleri Türkiye'nin bazı yörelerinde halk arasında kısırlığa karşı kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada P, anisum ile hazırlanan infüzyonların, Triticum aestivum'un (buğday) plumula ve radikuîa hücrelerinin mitoz bölünmeleri üzerine olan etkileri incelenmiştir. Çünkü, gametogenezin çoğalma evresinde başlangıç hücreleri mitoz bölünmeyle çoğalmaktadır. Buğday tohumlan % 1,2,3,4 ve 5 lik P. anisum infüzyonlan ile çimîendiriîmiştir. Dört gün sonra plumula ve radikula boylan ölçülmüş, bunların ortalamalan tek yönlü varyans analizi ile test edilmiştir. Daha sonra radikula uçîanndan alınan parçalar preparat haline getirilerek asetokarmenle boyanmış, mikroskopta mitozun evreleri incelenmiştir. Mitotik indeks için mitotik figürler sayılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda, P. anisum infüzyonlannın mitozu kısmen inhibe ettiği görülmüştür. P. anisum'un gametogenezin diğer evrelerine olan etkileri deney hayvanlarında incelenmelidir.

Variation in Essential Oil Content and Composition (Pimpinella anisum L.)
The essential oils were isolated from dried Pimpinella anisum L. seeds by Cleavenger aperture extraction, and fractions were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). 51 components were detected in aniseed. The components were mainly 19 sesquiterpenes (37.25 % ), ten monoterpene (19.60%) , tow diterpene (3.92%) and one hemiterpene (1.96 %). The major components identified in the essential oil of Pimpinella anisum was trans-Anethole or Anisole (71.52 %) , benzocycloheptene (6.59 %),and Isoeugenyl acetate ( 4.63 %). In addition 44 components were present at less than 1%. Keywords: Pimpinella anisum, anise, essential oils, trans-Anethole, GC-MS
